The illiquidity of MFH

[Jack B.]

One thing I don't see people touting a lot is how illiquid MFH is in the commercial realm. I've looked at properties all over the US for the past two years and then some. They are all still available....Doesn't matter if they were small places for 300K or 5 million dollar sprawling places. Still there....

With a house I don't have such a problem. I can sell any individual house in my portfolio and have it under contract within days of listing, and closed within a month.

The more I look into MFH, the less appealing it is in reality. There is not a lot of room for error. If you buy a crap deal, you are stuck with it...for a long time.
